Condolences
I was saddened to hear of the passing of my godmother . Viola was a wonderful person, as was all of the her family, and I will miss her even though we did not have much contact.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We will find comfort in fond memories. Joe and Helen (Sarasota, Florida)
My deepest condolences at the loss of your mother. My parents,Ralph and Mabel, both deceased now were close to your family at one time. We lived in Huntington on LongIsland. Dom and Jerry might remember. Your parents were my brother,Ralph, godparents and till recently we owned their house gift to my parents when they moved into our home in 1945. I have not met all your extended family, but I remember Viola as a kind and gentle person. We all have pleasant memories. Love to all. MaryAnn Camastra
I am very sorry about the loss of your mom i wish i could be up there...i have many fond memories of coming to the Coscia house in Brooklyn for Holidays and all the fantastic food your Mom made and all the fun we had running around the neighborhood and at the Gas Station.As i told Loretta the other day she is with Uncle Joe now and i am sure Uncle Dom and Aunt Grace and Dad are there too!......they will all truly be missed
I was very sorry and surprised to hear of Viola's passing. I didn't realize that she was as sick as she was. She is in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Aunt Scotty
To all my Coscia-Cousins, I was very upset when I heard from my mother of your mother's passing. I knew something was wrong as soon as I saw her face. Aunt Scotty just keeps saying: "I can't believe it." My most vivid memories are of when we were all little and would come over for holidays. Sometimes it was just a Sunday dinner. The youngest ate at the kitchen table. As the kids kept coming, we would eventually graduate to the card table set up in the dining room. Finally,when we were teenagers, we could sit at the "big" table with our parents, Nanny, Aunt Grace and Uncle Dom. Your Mom would always put out a big spread, but that wasn't as important to us as just being together, running around, getting yelled at and having a great time! I just like to think about those times. I also like to think of all of family members who have passed, sitting at a big dining room table somewhere, laughing, some smoking cigars, having a good time once again.
Aunt Viola was the center. Her children and grandchildren were the center of her life, and she was the center of theirs. Her home, whether it was Brooklyn, Mastic Beach or Freehold, New Jersey was always the central meeting place. All who entered felt welcomed, and if there was a meal involved you left well-fed. Not a day went by when she wasn't surrounded by love because that's what she gave to others. We will all miss her, but will find comfort knowing that she is reunited with her beloved Joe, her grandson Stephen, and all the Grasso's and Coscia's that have gone before her.
It is with great sorrow that have learned of the passing of Viola. Though we have not been in contact in quite some time our memories of Viola run deep in our hearts. This was a beautiful lady, inside and out. Viola always made us feel like family, so warm and loving. We were just kids really but we learned so much from her, things we will never forget, things that made us better people. Our prayers go out to her beautiful family.
I'm sorry to here about your mother. I wish I could be up north for you but due to job difficulties I will not be able to fly up. She was the sweetest of all my aunts. (and a good cook to!) God Bless Paul
I have many wonderful memories of Aunt Viola from my childhood. She was always so busy! But my favorite memory of her is the comfort she gave me after my father died. She said you may think his death is the worst thing in the world and nothing ever be right again. But you must go on. You must live your life. She was a beautiful lady and we will all miss her.
Dear Gerry, Maureen, Laura, Briana, and family, My prayers are with you all as you say your final goodbyes to Mom/Grandma. She joins Dad/Grandpa in heaven and will live her eternal life in peace. The photos are beautiful memories of a loving family. Our sincerest condolences and best wishes to all. Love your friends-- Maria, Mark, Ashley and Alyssa XOXOXO
Dear Loretta, Angela and the Coscia family, Our condolences on the loss of your beautiful mom. We have such wonderful memories of her, your dad and your entire family.
